Hüseyin Timur Tomb was analytically investigated on engineering perspective.  Hüseyin Timur Tomb is the one of important monument of Turkish architecture. It also located within the Unesco cultural heritage.The most stressed elements are the bottom walls at the ground level with a maximum value of compressive stress of about 6.1 MPa. Also, displacement resultant distribution suggests that the maximum displacement of around 13 mm will occur at top of dome.  The goal of this study is take attention for special historical tomb in Ahlat that is open air museum. Evaluation of these structures was important for cultural heritage and transferring them to future. It  is  very  important  to  protect  them  by  taking  measures  from  structural  aspect . The paper also included seismicity of the region and properties of Ahlat stone. Due to results it can be said that tomb has a high vulnerability.
